Welcome to the GWTW Forum.Guests (non-registered users) can view the forum but are unable to post. If you don't have anything to say then why would you bother to register?One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet. A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites. Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal. 1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".Questions or concerns?

I'm sorry if I am a complete newb on this topic but what exactly is a KAP and what the heck does one THAT SIZE command. I see touch controllers and suspension hardware... whoa!!

edit**

Ok I see it stands for Kite Aerial Photography. Now I see what that's all for... incredible equipment! Would any of that hardware not be contingency/secondary protected by some form of chute in the event of an unforseen failure of the lifter kite/sail???

Looks like the main line goes once around the orange thing.Then, by pulling the lighter line, it makes the black winder spin, which makes the orange winder spin and hence makes the whole structure climb the main line.I would imagine that due to weight (i.e. gravity) if you let go the lighter line the whole contraption moves down which makes the orange winder spin in the opposite direction, which makes the black winder spin likewise and makes the thin line be re-spun around the black winder and be neatly put away.

If this is how it works it is quite clever... (not me, the invention I mean)

I agree with this observation. Once your main kite is aloft, you can pull the thin line towards you to have the camera climb the cable... Once complete, the rig glides down by gravity, but spins the thin line on spool as it descends. Very thoughtful design.
